Expect physicality, but to beat West Brom we need to show technical superiority

Please forgive me if I end up jinxing the outcome of today's game, but this match today feels very much like the Swansea game of a few weeks ago, in which we had some very difficult moments but ended up winning comfortably away in South Wales. I'm not saying that I think we'll win today [...]

Last chance saloon for Campbell and I rule myself out for Arsène

Thank R.Kelly it's Friday. I'm certainly ready for the weekend I can tell you. A bit of booze, lie-ins and more importantly, The Arsenal. I suspect Arsène and his charges will be making their way up to some West Midlands based hotel today at some stage, because he got his presser out of the way [...]

Filling the blanks on the Arsenal flanks

With the friendly game to take place at Wembley tonight most probably being the centre of attention for most of the world and its media, it is perhaps inevitable that from an Arsenal perspective there is some involvement. I suspect we'll see Giroud and Koscienly take their place in the team at some point, whilst [...]

Munich: a steep hill to climb, but it’s only a hill, right?

This feels like an incredibly steep hill for the team to climb tonight. In fact, whilst not impossible, it does feel like the kind of bill that you'd probably walk around if you had the chance.  Bayern Munich on their own patch are a formidable opponent to say the least, but given that we have [...]

Goals to give confidence to the right players; keep Jose to remove a monkey

With the Bayern game taking place on Wednesday, the team find themselves with little opportunity to regale themselves with the memories of the fabulous win at the weekend, instead having to put it behind them in favour of a look ahead to a Wednesday night fixture against Bayern. Sure, Joel can be happy with his [...]

Grinding out a flattering result – lovely

I watched yesterday's game through an iPhone stream at my parents house and if I'm completely honest, had I not have watched it at all and just seen the Match of the Day highlights, I'd probably have been a lot less stressed. But what I witnessed yesterday felt like something I haven't seen for about [...]

Swansea away: stifle their counter and stop supply to the wingers

By |2015-10-31T10:23:30+00:00October 31st, 2015|Arsenal, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, premier league|0 Comments

I don't like this particular fixture that we've got today. It was this same fixture about this time last year that I was almost banned from watching The Arsenal with family members around, because of the profanities that I was firing in the direction of the flat screen, as everybody was around celebrating my birthday. [...]

Arsene gives clarity on wing thinking

By |2017-05-19T20:11:49+01:00October 30th, 2015|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, Attack, gooners, Gunners, injuries, press conference|0 Comments

The two bits of key news that came out yesterday included a bit of a blow, injury wise, as well as a bit of clarity on where Le Boss' mindset is with regards to who will occupy the right-wing spot for the immediate future given our lengthy injury list. Firstly, the injuries, which are a bitter [...]

Someone’s got to step up

Perhaps a provocative headline written this morning, but no less a relevant one, as we find out soon (possibly today) the extent of Theo and The Ox's injuries, which means Arsène has to delve a little deeper in to his squad than I'm sure he'd prefer. Arsène has definitely rotated this season more than we [...]
